FAQТs (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC)?
A NORC is an apartment complex or residential neighborhood, which was not intentionally built for older adults, but has become home to large numbers of older adults who have aged-in-place over time. Aging-in-place means growing older and remaining at home rather than moving to a life care facility. 2. What types of NORCТs are there?
There are many NORCs throughout our community and around the country. A NORC-SSP differs in that it addresses the needs of those aging-in-places through on-site provision of social and other services and that support aging in-place of the residents.
3. Why should I consider becoming part of a Browncroft Neighborhood NORC?Creation of a NORC-SSP is a community building process that enables residents to remain in the best home for them, their own. You can play an active role in creating the NORC-SSP by volunteering to serve on the ResidentТs Council. 4. What age must NORC participants be?
Most NORC-SSPТs serve those 65 years of age or older. 5. Who do NORCТs serve?

6. What kinds of services do NORCS usually provide?
NORC-SSPs provide a customized menu of services based on the community needs. Services include but are not limited to, transportation, case management, in-home health care, home repair services, social, cultural and volunteer opportunities. 7. What is the role of a lead agency e.g. Jewish Family Service, in coordinating the services of a NORC?
The lead agency manages and coordinates NORC services and programs. They supervise on-site staff, typically a social worker. The social worker helps assess community needs, provides information and referral, implements and coordinates ongoing in-home services, and acts as the liaison to the Resident Council. 8. How are NORCТs typically funded?
NORC-SSPТs are funded through government contracts and/or foundation grants. Or, some NORC sites are funded through fee for services from NORC residents.
9. Are there volunteer services in a NORC?
